A Monthly Founder's Journal

Still Building.

What it actually looks like to turn 30 years of expertise into income, documented in public by a CPA, former CFO, and SBA lending veteran doing it at 64.

About Curt

CPA. Former CFO. Former SBA Lender. Building in public at 64.

I spent a career inside small business finance: evaluating SBA loans, running CFO-level decisions, and advising owners on what the numbers actually meant. At 63 I finished a master's degree in entrepreneurship at the University of Florida. Now I am building a media and referral business from scratch, using exactly that expertise, and documenting every step.

This site is the public record of what that looks like.

Still Building — Monthly Newsletter

Follow the build in real time.

Once a month, on the first, I write about exactly what I am building, what I am learning, and what the numbers honestly look like. One thing built. One thing that did not work. One real number. No frameworks. No theory.

Just an honest account of a 64-year-old former CFO turning expertise into income, written for professionals doing the same thing.
